Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 195 - 40: Blessed by Fortune! Why Is He Still Able to Stand and Talk to Me?
"Prince Jin!"
Qi Yuanliang truly couldn’t comprehend it.
Everything had been going perfectly, all within his calculations.
How did it suddenly turn into the situation before his eyes?
He called out loudly, wanting to say something more.
But in the next moment—
"Astonishing Phoenix Spear!"
In that brief distraction, Jiang Jing unleashed his killing move, directly shattering the Innate Gang Qi around Qi Yuanliang. The long spear pierced straight through Qi Yuanliang’s body.
Seizing Qi Yuanliang’s moment of unpreparedness.
The other subordinates of Prince Jin didn’t stand idle and also acted together.
They unleashed their final killing strikes upon Qi Yuanliang.
"Thud!"
It wasn’t until the moment he fell to the ground—
That Qi Yuanliang still wore a look of disbelief.
He probably never thought he would die here in such a way.
Truly, two fists are no match for four hands.
If you don’t reach the Grandmaster level, you’ll be dragged down by numbers in the end. Luckily, I am now a Grandmaster.
Looking at the fallen Qi Yuanliang, Ye Liuyun smiled slightly.
Still the same saying: since you’ve schemed against others, you must be prepared to be schemed against yourself.

The great fire at Sanquan Mountain was finally extinguished in the end.
The situation was even worse than Prince Jin Yan Ze had anticipated. The wildfire spread from the bottom up, and all those troops hidden on Sanquan Mountain didn’t even have a chance to escape. Out of a hundred thousand, only a few thousand survived.
And even among those, many were badly injured.
This left Prince Jin Yan Ze’s face looking extremely gloomy. He wished he could dig up Qi Yuanliang from the ground and kill him again.
A perfectly good birthday banquet for Princess Consort Jin had turned into such a scene.
The citizens in the city who had been watching the fireworks—
Still had no idea what had happened. They were all worried about what might go wrong. All the people wanted was peaceful, stable days.
On the way back to the prince’s manor—
Prince Jin Yan Ze kept pulling at Ye Liuyun, chatting with a familiar, friendly face.
"Brother Ye, rest assured, I promise that this matter won’t affect you in any way. Oh, by the way, I heard you like saber skills. I have quite a few saber techniques in my collection; I’m sure you’ll like them."
"And also,..."
He went on and on, chattering nonstop.
Ye Liuyun didn’t even have a chance to get a word in.
In short, Prince Jin Yan Ze only meant one thing: giving!
Giving money, treasures, and cultivation techniques.
All just to win over Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun suitably expressed some gratefulness. Since these fine things are being sent straight to his door, why not accept them?
No one can resist the temptation of free stuff.
"Your Highness!"
When they returned to the princely manor, Daoist Mu Cang was already standing in the main hall.
When he saw Prince Jin return, Daoist Mu Cang immediately approached.
"I heard from others that Sanquan Mountain caught fire?"
Others might not know, but Daoist Mu Cang was well aware of what Prince Jin had hidden up on Sanquan Mountain.
"Mm!"
When the matter was brought up again, Prince Jin Yan Ze’s face darkened.
There were outsiders present now, so there were many things he couldn’t say, and could only nod.
"Sigh!"
Daoist Mu Cang opened his mouth, but in the end only sighed in silence.
He had originally been quietly cultivating in the prince’s manor, but suddenly sensed something wrong. That was why he had come out of his cultivation state, and as soon as he did, got the news of the fire at Sanquan Mountain.
"Since Your Highness has matters to attend to, I’ll take my leave and go rest."
Off to the side, Ye Liuyun first gave Daoist Mu Cang a glance.
He hadn’t expected the other to be a Grandmaster Realm figure, although only at the mid-stage, just one small realm higher than his own initial stage.
Knowing this was likely a trusted adviser by Prince Jin’s side and that they must have things to discuss, Ye Liuyun chose to take his leave at just the right time.
Besides, he still had other things to do.
"Brother Ye, thank you for today’s trouble. In that case, do have a good rest tonight!"
Upon hearing Ye Liuyun say this,
Prince Jin promptly looked over with concern, exchanged a few polite words, and Ye Liuyun left.
Jiang Jing, off to the side, also said he’d been wounded fighting Qi Yuanliang and would be going to rest. This time, Prince Jin Yan Ze didn’t object, just waved his hand to indicate he understood.
He also dispersed the others.
Once only Daoist Mu Cang and himself were left—
Prince Jin Yan Ze finally dropped his pretense, his face turning terribly grim.
"The rebellion plan has to be put on hold!"
A hundred thousand soldiers with only a few thousand left; what kind of rebellion could that pull off?
Daoist Mu Cang didn’t answer, but instead gazed steadily in the direction Ye Liuyun had left.
"Sir, what is it?"
Still no answer.
Prince Jin Yan Ze raised his head to look at the Daoist standing there, and asked.
"Nothing, it’s just that I noticed this person’s fortune is exceptionally strong, unusually so!"
Ye Liuyun had been in the prince’s manor for quite a few days, but this was the first time Daoist Mu Cang had really paid proper attention to him.
The cultivation technique Daoist Mu Cang practiced was already connected with fortune.
So Daoist Mu Cang himself knew a bit of Qi Observation Skill, able to see the luck surrounding others. The issues with Qu Sisi’s fortune had been discovered by him as well.
Even if only a vague sense, it was enough.
Just now—
Daoist Mu Cang had unexpectedly found that the just-departed Embroidered Uniform Guard’s luck was overwhelmingly strong, absurdly so.
In all his cultivation to this day—
He had never seen someone with such surging fortune.
"Sir, you’re referring to Ye Liuyun?"
This also made Prince Jin Yan Ze’s mind stir slightly.
He trusted Daoist Mu Cang’s Qi Observation Skill greatly. Many of the things he had managed to accomplish before were thanks to the help of Daoist Mu Cang.
